Valve has announced that The International, Dota 2’s most prestigious tournament, will return to Seattle this year for the first time since 2017. The tournament will begin with a group stage on October 14th before moving to Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on October 27th. The Climate Pledge Arena is the same venue where Valve held The International between 2014 and 2017 and where Dota fans witnessed some of the tournament’s best plays.
